  • Vibration isolation for superconducting magnets
    Patent number: 9140768
    Abstract: A mounting plate for locating under a superconducting magnet structure, between the superconducting magnet structure and a supporting surface of a mobile carrier, is controllable between two different states. In a first state, the mount provides rigid attachment and precise location of the superconducting magnet structure onto the supporting surface of the mobile carrier. In a second state, the mount provides vibration isolation between the superconducting magnet and the mobile carrier.
    Type: Grant

  • Assembly providing a tubular electrical conductor in thermal contact but electrical isolation with a thermal link
    Publication number: 20060207266
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved joint between a thermal link and a tubular electrical conductor within a turret used in a cryostat. The joint is thermally conductive yet electrically isolating, cheap and simple to produce, and offers superior electrical isolation.
